how can the people on here just say "If I did I would have been doing it next year"...its quite hard to get into, you know

I didn't want to say that I would have been doing medicine, because I know how tough it is to get a place, but I think people are trying to say that the reason they aren't doing medicine isn't because they're unable to, because they couldn't get the grades, like the OP is sort of implying.

No, I'm gonna have a career in healthcare but medicine...no, I don't think I'd want to study for five years and the whole responsibility of diagnosing someone's illness and deciding how to make them well.

No wayyy. It's not a degree it's a LIFESTYLE. I don't want that stress.
To be fair, I had the subjects at AS and got good enough grades to carry Chemistry on, and with some work experience I could've applied for Medicine. It crossed my mind. But you have to have PASSION, which is something I haven't got.
